Have you tried cleaning the "butterflies" as a first step.?..get rid of all the carbon/crud build up.!
(do a search on here to see)
You certainly have the "problematic" ETM (Marelli)..and as far as I know you either replace it..or get it refurbed...either will cost at least £300..more for the replacement I guess as I understand they have increased in price recently. BBA Re-manufacturing will refurb it for you.
It HAS to be "married/programmed" to your specific car if you replace it like for like (main dealer or Volvo Indy) ..if you refurb, it doesn't. ('cos it's the same one being put back).
Have a read of the ETM problems history on here and you will get a good idea of the situation.
